The reason why Techdirt reported this is because of the abuse of a DMCA notice in an attempt to stifle criticism. If you're aware of a liberal using the DMCA to try to stifle the speech of conservatives, submit it here as a story.

No, wait, sorry. Re-reading, it would seem that you're fine with incitement being illegal, and also think that the sticker counts as disorderly conduct? That is, you think that "the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace," or if the "display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace…" ?

By the way: it's difficult to refute allegations that come from out of the blue, that's why the letter is flailing. One doesn't know what the charge is or who one is fighting.

"One doesn't know what the charge is"? So far as I can tell, the charges are sexual assault and sexual advances on underage girls. He could simply say "I've never sexually assaulted anyone, nor have I ever made sexual advances towards any underage girls".

So, if you use a photo booth, does the company operating the booth own the copyright on any photos produced by the booth?

That's the argument that the photographer is making.

No, his argument is more along the lines of "the copyright has to belong to someone. Normally it would belong to whoever presses the button, if it can't belong to them then the copyright passes to the owner of the booth".

If "platforms" are too big to moderate as civil society requires, CUT THEM DOWN TO SIZE.

It's not, in and of itself, the size of the platforms/companies, but the the sheer volume of messages that would have to be moderated. If (for example) you split Twitter up into a thousand companies, each with 1/1,000th of the resources and handling 1/1,000th of the message volume, none of those mini-Twitters would have the resources needed to handle the volume of messages as the would be (proportionally) in the same boat as the original Twitter. The only way to "moderate as civil society requires" would be some combination of throttling the amount of messages users can send and charging users per message sent, so that their army of paid moderators would be up to the task of handling the message volume.

Some significant portion of the compiled game code (significant enough to attempt to deter piracy) is running in a VM with a different instruction set than the underlying physical CPU, and this is supposed to have no perceptible effect?
